!!Aryn

The strongest dragon Eo has ever known and Creator of the ice elves, he is usually sleeping in the Frostweaver's Den, listening to Cenwen's songs. Then she is kidnapped and he awakens in rage.

* Badass: although not the eldest, Aryn is ''the'' strongest dragon in the world, period. He nearly induced a worldwide ice age looking for a friends and is said that a single beat of his wings can extinguist all life from the land through sheer cold.
* BerserkButton: don't touch Cenwen. Just don't.
* TheDreaded: even the ''Norcaines'', or at least the most resonable of them, are scared of his fury. The ice elves make it a top priority to rescue Cenwen and calm him.
* [[AnIcePerson An Ice Dragon]]
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: nearly froze the world in his wake while looking for one. He found it in Cenwen.
* MeaningfulName: Aryn means the Frostweaver in elvan.
* NiceGuy: even though he is ''insanely'' powerful, all he ever wanted was to have friends to keep him company. When Cenwen chose to live at his side, he thanked her by granting her people the ability to use Ice Magic. Later, he calmed down as soon as she was returned to him and didn't think of revenge or anything against the Norcaines. Finally, after Wind and Whisper were born, he didn't hesitate to give them his draconic blood to keep them alive.
** GoodIsNotSoft: he is more of a TrueNeutral, but is a benevolent entity despite his powers. Piss him off, though, and it's Ice Age 2.0 coming for you. Apparently, his powers are so strong that the mountains shattered and released undead armies when he awoke ...
* PhysicalEmbodiment: treated as such by the people of Eo, who see him as Winter incarnate.

!!Cenwen

A firstborn elf and Aryn's everlasting partner, she lies at his side, keeping him company and appeasing him through her songs. She is also the mother of the half-bred twins Wind and Whisper.


* DistressedDamsel: kidnapped by the Fial Darg because of her status as a firstborn. Rescuing her is the main plot of the campaign.
* HeroicSacrifice: gave her life to Aryn in exchange of that of her people. She didn't die, but now has to spend the eternity with the dragon.
* MusicSoothesTheSavageBeast: charmed Aryn with the beauty of her songs.
* ParentalAbandonment: was forced to leave Wind and Whisper at Tirganach because, as newborns, they couldn't withstand the sheer cold emitted by Aryn, even after drinking his blood.

!!Lena

* BestServedCold: pun non-intended. It takes time to reunite with Grimaud, but when we do, Lena is more than happy to [[JustForPun ice him]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: is killed by the Fial Darg just before Cenwen can be rescued. The Shadow Warrior ''doesn't'' take it well.
* AnIcePerson: learned Ice Magic with the elves of Tirganach.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner: delivers a delicious one to Grimaud after reuniting with him.
-->''"Me too, Grimaud ... because I know how much you hate cold!" (proceeds to freeze the bastard to death)''
* TrueCompanions: with the Shadow Warrior.
* WomanScorned: after Grimaud fools her into fighting the ice elves and releasing the Fial Darg, she is ''pissed''.

!!Grimaud

* PurelyAestheticGender: played straight in Breath of Winter but averted in Shadow of the Phoenix where it is revealed he is a man. [[spoiler: The fact he is portrayed as a masculine Shadow in Shadow Wars also seems to confirm it, though no one knows if there are women among the Shadows.]]

* BlessedWithSuck: as a Rune Warrior, the Shadow Bearer owns the only weapon able to kill a Fial Darg. However, said weapon is slowly corrupting him and turning him into a LivingShadow. And there's nothing to prevent that.
**[[spoiler: CursedWithAwesome: as a Shadow, the Shadow Bearer is basically an invisible eldritch Fial Darg-slaying assassin.]]


Added DiffLines:

** ImHavingSoulPains: the corrupting effect of the Shadow Blade is mentally painful and physically exhausting.
** [[spoiler: PowerUpgradingDeformation: once the corruption is complete, the Shadow Bearer becomes a Shadow, an EldritchAbomination / LivingShadow who is usually invisible but can become visible at will and mostly uses said ability for assassination.]]

A former Rune Warrior and the main protagonist of Breath of Winter, he wields the legendary Shadow Blade, a weapon able to slay Fial Darg effortlessly but turns any wielder into a [[LivingShadow Shadow]]. [[Spoiler: This is eventually the Warrior's fate and what allows him to survive the disappearance of the Rune Warriors following the end of the Circle.]] He returns in Shadow Wars and its sequels, where he helps the Player Character befriend his new people and later assists Nightsong into ruling the Norcaines. He can also become a party member in Faith in Destiny.

* DealWithTheDevil: ''twice''. The first time when he accepts to wield the Shadow Blade to stop the Fial Darg, knowing the weapon's nasty side effect. The second time when he helps the Masked Man in return for a temporary cure against said nasty side effect.



* InfinityPlusOneSword: averted. The Shadow Blade is the only weapon able to kill a Fial Darg, but in game, its stats are rather poor. Especially, it starkly decreases the wielder's resistance to magic.



* PowerAtAPrice: however, the Shadow Sword also corrupts its bearer's soul and slowly turns him into a Shadow. [[This is the Warrior's eventual fate.]]

!!The Shadow Warrior

He can also become a party member in Faith in Destiny.

* CallBack: when the Player Character meets him in the Iron Fields, one of the first thing he says is how the Shadow Warrior saved the world from Aryn, which is the main plot of Breath of Winter.
*[[spoiler: DarkIsNotEvil: after becoming a Shadow, he still remains a good guy at heart.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: works for the Masked Man, [[spoiler: aka. Hokan Ashir]], for awhile, but decides to quit after meeting with the dryad in Empyria and does his best to stop the necromancer's schemes.
* HonorBeforeReason: the logic behind said HeelFaceTurn. The Shadow Warrior is doomed no matter what he does. The Masked Man's remedy only [[spoiler: slows down his soul's corruption by the Shadow Blade. In the end, he ''will'' become a Shadow. And he does.]] Rather than following the Masked Man in hopes of delaying his fate, the Shadow Warrior takes it like a man and rebels against his employer, which he knows is a bad guy.
*{{Jerkass}}: compared to the Phoenix Guard, he is much more ruthless and hard-spoken. Must come with dealing with the Dark Races of Urgath ...
* [[spoiler: LivingShadow]]: his eventual fate.
*OnlyICanKillHim: thanks to the Shadow Sword being the only thing able to kill a Fial Darg, the Shadow Warrior is the go-to guy when one of these monsters starts a rampage.
*PowerAtAPrice: however, the Shadow Sword also corrupts its bearer's soul and slowly turns him into a Shadow. [[This is the Warrior's eventual fate.]]
*WhatTheHellHero: calls out the Phoenix Guard for bringing Hokan back. In the Guard's defence, he didn't really have a choice ...

!!Flink MacWinter

to:

*{{Badass}}: that guy is tough enough that Sorvina had to use the Shadows to kill him. The Blades are also no match for his strength.
*BigDamnHeroes: rescues Urias in the Frost Marches and the Player Character several times.
*DarkIsNotEvil: despite being a Norcaine, he's a friendly guy to the PC and cares deeply for his people, as well as his daughter.
*DualWielding
*{{Expy}}: of Drizzt Do'Urden.
*GoodParent: took great care of his daughter, Nightsong, and his last words before definitely dying are to her.
*OurElvesAreBetter: he is a dark elf, a Norcaine.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: belonging to the Dracons, the warrior caste of the Norcaines, he is a fierce and honorable fighter who cares deeply to the sake of his people. It is to note that the Dracons are usually the mediators between the Archon and Sinistra castes.

Mac'Winter

*CallBack: the statue trickery he pulls on the orks in Shadow Wars has him mention he learned it through the ice elves. In Breath of Winter, there's a band of trolls near Tirganach that revere a hollow statue. You can use this statue to fool them into performing various tasks.

* BerserkButton: the Dark One killing Sartarius before his eyes after traping them both ''really'' pissed him off. RoaringRampageOfRevenge ensued.
* DealWithTheDevil: the deal with Hokan Ashir to get intels on the Phoenix Stone. Even though it ended being NiceJobBreakingItHero, it was necessary, the power of the Phoenix being [[ChekhovsSkill the only thing able to kill a Mage of the Circle]].
*Determinator: not a single thing will stop the Phoenix Guard from trying to stop the Dark One, especially after he makes it personal.
* ItsPersonal / LetsGetDangerous: as if killing Rohen wasn't enough, the Dark One also kills Sartarius, and this by also using the Guard as a delivery boy then trapping him with ice and performing the murder. The first time, the Guard was angry. The second time, not even the entire [[MechaMook Blade army]] could stop him.
